Click here to see original video. Standard humanoid robots mimic the human form but the mechanisms used in such robots are very different from those in humans, and the characteristics of the robot reflect this. This places severe limitations on the kinds of interactions such robots can engage in, on the knowledge they can aquire of their environment, and therefore on the nature of their cognitive engagement with the environment. However a new kind of robot is just beginning to emerge - the anthropomimetic robot. Instead of just copying the appearance of a human, it copies the inner structures and mechanisms - bones, joints, musles, and tendons, and thus has the potential for human-like action and interaction in the world. ECCE, developed within the EU\\\'s 7th Framework Programme, is the first robot that follows the anthropomimetic design principles very closely. The project has three major goals: (1) to design and build a robot using anthropomimetic principles, (2) to characterise its dynamics and control it, (3) to exploit its human-like characteristics to produce some human-like cognitive features.

Project Report 2009 available

The Project Report of last year's ShanghAI Lectures is available as a PDF in two versions: Optimized for online viewing (ca. 5 MB) and optimized for printing (ca. 22 MB).

ShanghAI Lectures 2010

Planning for the ShanghAI Lectures 2010 has started.

There will be another round of videoconference lectures, complemented with discussions and exercises in the collaborative virtual environment. Intended start: 30 September 2010.

For updates regarding the project, subscribe to the mailing list (don't worry: very low traffic).

Lecture 10 online

The SWITCHcast recordings of Lecture 10 (introduction, panel discussion) are available now, as well as the guest talks by Wenwei Yu, Hiroshi Yokoi, Adrianne Wortzel, and Xiaoan Li.

Lecture 9 online

The SWITCHcast recording of Lecture 9 is available now, as well as the guest talks by Alois Knoll/Mary Ellen Foster/Manuel Giuliani and Sukhan Lee.
